Reservations? Yes, but not always necessary. We often have sites available first come first serve. Reservations are unnecessary on weekdays. Just come and pick a site. Reservations require a 2 day minimum on weekends, 3 day minimum on holiday weekends.  Call and leave  your name, the amount of people in your party and the dates you would like to come. We will also need a phone number to reach you in the evening when we will call to set up your reservation if we  have availability.


Family friendly? Yes, your children will be happy here. We even have a camp kid (Colton) who will be happy to show them around.


Dogs OK? Yes. Sorry, no Pit Bulls, no aggressive dogs. Dogs must be on leash at all times and may not be left unattended. Owners must clean up each and every time after their pets.


Parties or loud music? No, this is a family campground. We ask you to respect the quiet hours of 10 PM to 8 AM. In a tiny canyon such as this, noise travels far. Please be considerate of your fellow campers.


Campfires? Yes. We also have seasoned campfire

bundles for just 6$.


Checkout time? 11AM, but you can stay later for a

small day use fee.


Bathrooms & Showers? Yes. Fresh and clean with

hot showers too!


RVs and trailers? Some. This is a heritage park tent

campground, but we allow small RVs up to 25 feet

(primarily on weekdays when the park has plenty of

space)  This is a perfect park for small trailers, RVs

and truck bed campers. Westfalia? You’ll feel right

at home.


Hookups? Yes, a few sites have electricity and water

for a small fee.


Generators OK? No, sorry. Schoolhouse is a heritage

park and the noise of generators is inconsistent with our our theme.


How long can I stay? 14 days. This is a true tent campground. We do not allow permanent residents.


River access? We have 30 acres of riverside property, with a few trails. There is very little sandy beach, but is is a nice walk and if you get there early, you will find a spot. The new county beach called Sunset is just East of us and we also recommend Johnson’s beach in Guerneville which has canoe and kayak rentals as well as a great snack shack.


Wineries near by? You’re kidding right? This is Sonoma county, wineries are everywhere. You could throw a rock and hit Korbel Champagne Cellars from here, which also has a great deli and one of the best tours around. Westside road is the most beautiful wine road in the county and begins just a mile down the street.


What forms of payment do you take? Cash only. No Credit cards. No Checks. There is a bank in town with ATM as well as a 24-hour Safeway. Please come prepared, fees are due at check in.
